Natalia Bonner Workshop openings - October 18th
The Quilters by the Sea Guild has openings in the Natalia Bonner workshop on October 18th and have opened it up to non-members.
The workshop is titled Lattice (a piece contemporary quilt using traditional techniques).
The cost is $25.00 for QBTS members and $35.00 for nonmembers.
If interested contact Miranda. Email mmdscitimeATearthlinkDOTnet
Date: October 4, 2014 at 10:45:48 AM EDT
Subject: Natalia Bonner workshop 10/18
Hi all: the workshop with Natlia Bonner is only 2 weeks away. She has recommended that we cut the fabric for the Lattice quilt on page 85 of her book Modern One-Block Quilts by Natalia Bonner and Kathleen Whiting before we come so we can spend more time sewing. I am planning on making the smallest of the 3 sizes listed so I can use it for a baby quilt.
If you do not yet have the book please get one: you can check local quilt shops or rode one online. I ordered mine from Amazon. Natalia will have books to sell but you may want one before the class. If you already have the book, go to age 85 and follow the directions for fabric selection and cutting. You can substitute scrap fabric for the red or gray fabric, but you will need a solid background for the white fabric.
Skip the next set of instructions if you have the book and use the book.
If you are waiting for the book you will need
7/8 yard of a printed fabric (or scraps) for the crosses
7/8 yard of a second fabric (or scraps) for the strips that form the lattice
1 1/2 yards of white or a solid for the background
Again for the baby quilt you need to cut (use the book if you have it— it has more detail)
128 strips 1 1/4 by 4 inches for the crosses
128 strips 1/14 by 3 inches for the crosses (second side)
128 strips 1/14 by 5 1/4 for the lattice
64 squares 4 1/4 inch x 4 1/4 inch for the background
64 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inch square to make triangles for background
64 2 3/8 x 5 1/4 inch strips for the background
For everyone:
Bring standard sewing machine and supplies needed to sew. We will have extension cords and irons.
Please be on time so we can get started promptly—maybe we can get the top pieced!
Notebook and pencil plus your book for Natalia to sign and you to refer to during the class.
Bring a lunch and a drink.
Note: Due to the small number of people in the class, you will get a lot of individual attention. If you know of anyone who would like to come, have them email me at mmdscitimeATearthlinkDOTnet. Then give them a copy of this list. I will share it with the Brunswick and Jacksonville guilds, and you are free to share it with other groups you know about. The cost is $25.00 for QBTS members and $35.00 for nonmembers.
I am looking forward to a fun day. Natalia has a website (Piece N Quilts), a blog found on her website, and a Pinterest site, so check her out. See you in two weeks!
